Chapter VII: Retreat as Advance

Wu Zixu left without saying a word, did not say goodbye to anyone, and left only a letter.

Zhuan Zhu looked at the letter in his hand, which read:

Brother Zhuan, don't say goodbye, but also please forgive your sins! Living in the officialdom for a long time, your heart is depressed, you have won the appreciation of your son, and you can also take this leisure to live in seclusion in the mountains, cultivate your temperament, and relax your mind, so you will leave for a while, please don't worry about it!

Zixu

Zhuan Zhu looked at Wu Zixu's handwriting, his face was dazed, and he thought that Wu Zixu must have his own plan, so he didn't think much about it.

A few days later, Gongzi Guanglai came to spread the word to welcome Zhuan Zhu into the house. Before leaving, Zhuan Zhu knelt down and said to his mother:

"Mother, the child is running to follow the son, you don't have to worry, I will come to see you in a few days!"

Zhuzhu's mother opened her eyes wide, her eyes rolled around and looked for him, but unfortunately she was blind and could only rely on a pair of calloused dry hands to caress Zhuanzhu's cheeks.

"Son, you must be careful on the road, you must understand etiquette in the Prince's Mansion, and you can no longer cause trouble and fight like you usually do. ”

"Mother, don't worry, it won't!"

Zhuan Zhu turned to his wife again and said:

"You serve your mother well at home, if you need anything, ask someone to tell me, and there is a specialty, you have to train him well, so that he can become a man who stands up to the sky!"

The wife nodded in agreement, weeping again and again, crying silently.

Inside the Childe Light Mansion.

"Zhuanzhu, it's really God's favor to have someone like you now!" said Gongzi Guang with a smile.

Immediately, Gongziguang spoke bluntly and told him his resentment and dissatisfaction with Wu Wang's bureaucracy and his idea of wanting to kill his bureaucrats and stand on his own.

"God has eyes, I am extremely lucky to send you to help me regain my lost throne!"

Dedication to the Path:

"The first king Yu Yu died, and the wingman inherited the throne, which should have been his right, and there is nothing wrong with it. Why did Gongzi kill King Wu?"

"Do you know, after the death of my grandfather Shoumeng, there were four sons, my father Zhufan, the eldest uncle Yu Xi, and the second uncle Yu Yu ascended the throne one after another, and the third uncle Ji Zade was the highest but had no intention of taking the throne. The second uncle died of illness, the third uncle was not subject to the throne, the country vacated the throne, and the eldest son who was eligible to inherit the throne was the eldest son, and the descendant of the eldest son was me. Now why should the prince of Wu replace me to inherit the throne? Although I am not talented and have no ability to take charge of political affairs, I will not be convinced if I do not find a capable person!"

Zhuan Zhu says:

"Why don't you let the ministers speak directly to King Wu? Why do you have to arrange for swordsmen to assassinate King Wu privately?"

Gongziguang didn't think so, he knew the nature of the Wu prince, he was greedy and didn't know how to back down, once after Yu Yu died, in order to get the throne, he went everywhere to please the ministers, and he was unscrupulous!

He recalled the scene when he first came to power, and he desperately tried to regain the ship. At that time, Gongziguang led 20,000 Wu troops and went straight up the Yangtze River, wanting to go straight to the nest of the Chu army, but unexpectedly, the Chu army was not vegetarian. At that time, Wu's shipbuilding industry was already very developed, and the navy army had increasingly become the main force of Wu's invasion of Chu, in order to provide Wu's army with weapons and equipment for water warfare, Wu specially built a shipbuilding workshop on the edge of Taihu Lake - Boat Chamber, which could manufacture ships of different forms and different properties. Before Childe Hikatsu set out on the expedition, he gave him his beloved "艅艖" to use to help him. This "ship", with one general, one garrison, and three thousand soldiers, can be described as a giant on the water, and no one can stop it. Gongziguang also knew that the bow was indeed the nemesis of the Chu army, so he was negligent and neglected to take precautions. "The proud soldiers will be defeated", sure enough, the Chu army sneak attacked at night, and more than 100 Chu soldiers, rowing more than 20 small boats, quietly approached the huge "bow" in the hazy night. At that time, Gongziguang only arranged more than 200 soldiers to act as boatmen, dozens of soldiers stayed on guard, and the others went to Gongziguang's boat to drink and entertain, so the Chu army came at the right time, and it took less than a quarter of an hour to get on the boat, and then in less than half an hour, they killed the Wu army on the ship, robbed the ship, and hurriedly sailed to the Chu army camp. However, the Chu army didn't know much about it, so he could only control it exploratory, and the driving speed was very slow. Wu Jun saw that he was inexplicably heading towards the Chu army camp, and felt that something was wrong, so he hurriedly reported to Gongziguang. Gongziguang immediately felt that something was wrong, and looking at the scene of eating, drinking and having fun in front of him, he couldn't help but feel guilty and annoyed, and regretted it very much, so he immediately gathered the army and led the navy to chase after him. However, after all, the bow is a big ship, and although it can catch up, it is not easy to get on the deck. Not to mention that the bow is marching, and the Chu army is guarding it. Gongzi only knew that he was derelict in his duties and lost his arm, so he was responsible. Besides, the bureaucrats trust themselves so much that even their beloved guards have been assigned to him, and if they are not recovered this time, they will not only be questioned by the bureaucrats, but also their reputation will be ruined. So, Childe Hikaru tried every possible way to defy the difficulties and decided to adopt the method of climbing. More than 100 Wu soldiers began to attack from all sides of the ship, while the Chu soldiers on the ship were outnumbered after the robbery. Childe Hikaru is well aware of the situation in front of him, so he uses the tactics of hard attack. However, relying on the advantage of being large does not mean that you are 100% sure of victory. It is also necessary to keep the boat moving at the same speed as the bow and break through the wind and waves. Gongziguang suddenly felt helpless, his mind was at a loss, and he felt that it was even more difficult to recapture the bow than to ascend to the sky. A group of death squads around him stared at him blankly, with a confused look in their eyes. Gongzi Guang opened his mouth for a long time and said one word: "Attack!" The death squad all looked happy, because they believed that if their general had a way, he would definitely win! In fact, Gongziguang was not too sure, but under the pressure of his arrogant and unsympathetic character, he had to risk his death. He ordered the elite troops of the Wu army to divide into ten groups, each with a hundred soldiers, and launch an attack on the ships in batches. At the beginning, the Wu army death squad suffered many setbacks and repeatedly fell into the water, but none of the Chu soldiers were killed or injured. Childe looked at this scene and was heartbroken. Later, he decided to order the troops who remained on the ship to shoot arrows at the Chu army to reinforce the Wu army that was climbing the ship. This decision really worked, and the casualties of the Chu army rose sharply, and after nearly two hours, they finally recaptured the ship. But half of the death squads are dead, in other words, half of the elite troops have been lost. Childe Hikaru had to review what he had done. He then ordered the withdrawal of his troops and returned home. However, the news of Gongziguang's mistake spread far and wide, and it reached the ears of Wu Wangyi, who immediately changed his color and reprimanded Gongziguang on the spot. Childe is just a man with a self-knowing name, and he is willing to be punished. As a result, Wu Wangyi removed Gongzi Guangda from his position as general and demoted him to deputy general. Gongzi Guang was not satisfied with this punishment and was angry. He felt that Wu Wangbian could kill or scrape if he wanted to, but his status as a general could not be changed. Since then, Gongziguang has been haunted by this matter, and his resentment towards Wu Wangyi has deepened. It was also after that incident that Gongziguang began to secretly recruit talents, and asked fortune tellers who are good at reading faces to look for talents everywhere, so as to wait for the opportunity to kill the monarch and stand on his own.

When Childe Guang thought of this, he felt angry in his heart.

"Don't you know, that man is greedy by nature, isn't it asking for trouble to say this to him? I have searched everywhere for celebrities, but none of them are people who have achieved great things!

"Xiaomin is fortunate to be appreciated by the son......" Thinking of his mother, wife and children at home, he hesitated, with a blank look in his eyes, like a stream encountering a fork, I don't know where to flow but I want to flow everywhere.

Gongzi is an empathetic person, he remembered that he stayed for a few days but was politely rejected by him, and he could see that he was a very filial person. Sidewalk:

"Don't worry, your mother is my mother, and I will treat you like my own mother. ”

After all, he couldn't let go, and "the body was skinned and received by his parents," so how could he casually take his life as a matter of course? He seemed to see his mother lying on his body crying, and the tears flowed like a river, drowning the entire Wu Kingdom, and the entire Tangyi was suddenly flooded; his voice was terrible, and the gods in the heavens were moved by it, and the demons in the ground were also pitied. Suddenly, I saw black and white impermanence coming to ask for the soul, and the terrifying face was monotonous and bloodless, white like a piece of tofu. He was wandering above his body, looking at his mother, wife and children with reluctance, and clutching the corners of his clothes, but he still couldn't resist the impermanent mana. The white impermanence with dead fish eyes clasped Zhuanzhu's head, and the black impermanence held a chain and cuffed it on Zhuanzhu's blood-stained hands, causing a slight pain in his wrists. Zhuan Zhu pleaded bitterly to the two impermanences: "Big brother - okay, okay! Don't take me away, my family is old and young, take pity on me!" The black impermanence looked fierce and said, "No! If you kill someone, you should be punished as you deserve!" Zhuan Zhu said in a heartfelt voice: "I killed the faint king, I am not wrong!" The white impermanence said: "We don't care about the faint king or the faint king! We only arrest murderers!" "Zhuan Zhu ......

If he agrees, his life will be in danger, and if he fails, his family will be harmed; if he does not agree, it will be difficult for Gongzi Guang to speak, and he does not know what the result will be. Weighing over and over again, he said:

"Okay, I promise you. But I heard that whoever wants to kill someone must know what hobbies that person has, and what hobbies does King Wu have?"

"Good taste!"

"And what do you like to eat?"

"Fish scorch. ”

Zhuzhu has heard that there is a master in Taihu Lake, and the skill of roasting fish is peerless, and he is called "Taihu Gong". The fish he cooks is not only delicious and fresh, but also has a complete range of dishes and a variety of recipes. Eel, white fish, branch fish, Taihu Lake silverfish, steamed, stir-fried, braised and stewed...... And so on. Zhuan Zhu had heard the villagers boast, but he had never tasted it, so it was better to take this opportunity to feast on it, and not to be born in vain!

"Childe, in Xia Su asked someone in Taihu Lake who is good at roasting fish, let me go to Xia to learn this art of roasting fish, how about it?"

Childe Guangdayue immediately promised.
